Suet crust pastry is an old style pastry rather than using just vegetable oils and things, this actually uses hard processed animal fat, if you like old pies from the 60s and early 70s in rural areas, you need suet to get that taste. Works great for meat pot pies, and the crust tastes good enough you'll have everyone wondering what you are doing differently.
